Non-slip bath coating at your home in Cresswell
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and shower trays, and people most frequently call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NE61 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cresswell
For anyone letting property in or around Cresswell, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Cresswell?
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Before you book anyone
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Cresswell. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Questions from Cresswell
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your NE61 postcode.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Northumberland. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
